Life itself is “natural” and each of us has a unique “border” that defines who we are as individuals. Our lives are built on a series of shared and unshared experiences and this business was bred in some sphere in between. The generations that came before brought us our life, and it's through life that we're given opportunity, and it's through opportunity that we can commit ourselves to the next generations. Beneath the surface, this section of the website might provide a way for our community to understand some of what led this company to this place, within this time, and influenced by this context.

The painting above was created by the Natural Border team to serve as a reminder of the many paths we often face and the need to look at the landscape under a different light. In the painting there's a straight ahead path, a crooked path, and a path that appears to more abstractly pass through a room and archway. The circle overhead symbolizes whatever is used as guidance. The team painted this to provide a visual representing the ever-present need to chart and navigate a path, whether it currently exists or not. A new business is constantly faced with decisions that lead down divergent paths; how a business chooses to chart and guide its path is of the upmost importance …. as is, enjoying the passage of time.

 

Beginning a new company isn't easy, but easy isn’t what a new business is often expecting. The Natural Border experience wouldn't be possible without a large contingency of support. Family, friends, and neighbors near and far have provided the light that illuminates the path. You became the dream focus group, helped chart the Natural Border path, and the future is bright with y’all as allies. Your patience was very much appreciated and a seriously big THANK YOU is sent your direction!
